Supplementary material for "Long-term trends of reproductive success of black grouse Lyrurus tetrix in the southern Swiss Alps in relation to changes in climate and land use"
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Breeding success of an Alpine black grouse <em>Lyrurus tetrix</em> population in southern Switzerland was monitored from 1981 to 2020. This long-term dataset allows exploring relationships of reproductive rates with climate and habitat, which have shown marked changes during this period. Over the 40 years, the average elevation of black grouse breeding sites increased by around 100 m in Central/Southern Ticino but showed only a slight increase in Northern Ticino, where black grouse occur at higher elevations. Average reproductive rates in Northern Ticino remained constant throughout the study period but declined in Central/Southern Ticino. Relationships between reproductive success and weather as well as habitat variables were analysed with a multiple regression model. Temperature during the early chick-rearing phase and the time of egg-laying was positively correlated with reproductive rate. Correlations between reproductive rates and precipitation were less clear, and only small proportions of the variance in reproductive rates could be explained by precipitation. Brush forest explained the greatest amount of variation in reproductive rate (6.2%). Forest, alpine agricultural areas, and unproductive vegetation all showed a positive relationship with reproductive rate, but the proportion of the variance explained was small. Year (5.1%) and its interaction with region (2.3%) explained considerable amounts of the variance. While in Northern Ticino reproductive success did not show a negative trend when correcting for weather and habitat changes, there remained a negative trend over the years in Central/Southern Ticino. Despite the positive correlations of reproductive rate with temperature, increasing temperatures do not appear to have improved reproductive success, likely as a result of habitat changes that forced black grouse towards higher elevations. Changes in reproductive success were limited to the southern region, indicating deteriorating conditions at the edge of the distribution range.</p> <p> </p>
16-year WRF simulation for the Southern Alps of New Zealand (monthly output)
<p>The climatological dataset was produced using the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model configured with two nested domains at 10 km (D1) and 2 km (D2) horizontal grid spacing. It covers the bulk of the South Island of New Zealand and is centered over Brewster Glacier in the Southern Alps. The model was forced every three hours by ERA5 reanalysis data at its outer lateral boundaries. The dataset covers the period of 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2020, providing daily output in the outer domain (D1) and 3-hourly output in the innermost domain (D2). </p> <p>The dataset was generated as part of a DFG-funded project aimed at investigating the atmospheric processes causing impacts of sea surface temperature changes around New Zealand on variations of glacier surface climate and mass balance in the Southern Alps (using Brewster Glacier as a benchmark glacier).</p> <p>The data provided here are a selection of monthly averages from the finest WRF domain (D2; 2-km grid spacing). They are distributed among three different file types containing 4-dimensional, 3-dimensional and invariant output variables, respectively. For the 4-dimensional variables, the data were cropped to below ~200 hPa. In addition, perturbation and base-state atmospheric pressure (WRF variables P and PB) and geopotential (PH and PHB) were combined to produce full model fields, and perturbation potential temperature (T) was converted to total potential temperature.</p>

5-day WRF case study for the Southern Alps of New Zealand (hourly output)
<p>Full output file from the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model for a 2 km resolution domain centered over the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Modelling period is 02-Feb-2011 00:00:00 UTC to 07-Feb-2011 00:00:00 UTC (5 days) with hourly output frequency. The data-set was generated in the framework of a case study to investigate the mesoscale influence of an atmospheric river on the mass balance of Brewster Glacier (Southern Alps) during a summertime melt event.
